Sinopse

Discover forbidden love, powerful magic, and a secret that could destroy a kingdom... The Sword Bearer is the first volume in the new series by bestselling author Cassandra Clare, who welcomes readers to an epic fantasy, marking her debut in adult literature.

Orphan Kellian's plans for the future were always simple: to become a sailor, or perhaps, if all else fails, to be a thief on the streets of Castellane. The one thing Kel didn't expect was to be taken from the orphanage to the palace, where, at the age of ten, he received a unique job offer: to become Swordbearer to Conor Aurelian, the Crown Prince. Raised with the prince, Kel grew up amidst luxury and pomp, trained in both swordfighting and the political wiles of the court. The price of being Conor's body double is being forever bound to someone he loves like a brother—but never having his own individuality.

Physician Lin Caster is part of the Ashkar community, a small group that possesses magical abilities and knowledge even after the Shattering, an event that wiped out all magic from the world. Despite the restrictions imposed on her people, Lin goes above and beyond to care for the kingdom's sick.

When an assassination attempt on the prince is foiled by the Sword Bearer, Kel and Lin grow closer and find themselves caught up in the cunning plot of the mysterious King of Thieves, the criminal ruler of Castellane's underworld, who offers them both what they desire most. However, in this world of shadows and intrigue, they uncover a conspiracy that stretches from the gutter to the highest echelons of the decadent nobility.

When long-kept secrets threaten to come to light, Kel and Lin ask themselves: Is the price of betrayal worth the price of magical knowledge? Could a forbidden love be the ruin of a kingdom? Could the revelations bring war to Castellane—and chaos to the world?

"It has everything I look for in a fantasy. Exceptional world-building, combat, fascinating characters, and a story that captivates the reader from the first page to the last." — George R.R. Martin, author of the A Song of Ice and Fire series.

“Cassandra Clare at her most intelligent, surprising, and moving—a triumphant book.” —Holly Black, author of The People of the Air series and The Book of Night .

“Fantasy at its finest.” — Leigh Bardugo, author of the Shadow and Bone series and Ninth House .

“Cassandra's worldbuilding is immersive. Many characters are richly detailed and memorable, so switching between points of view flows easily for the reader. It's a wonderfully enjoyable start to the series.” — Kirkus Reviews
